Hi,
I am a second year student who have experienced taking a gap year after completing A-levels in sixth form.
I then took a local college course as I wanted to go into a degree programme where my A-levels wouldn't apply (STEM A-levels wouldn't do for an English and Journalism degree ) and decided the college course would work out cheaper than a foundation course at uni. So that took 2 years. If you are a mature student and worried about adjusting, I can reassure you that the first year is all about making sure everyone is on the same page.
I am also here if you have any issues with roommates as I had to relocate so understand how it can affect your well-being. I can also relate if you come from a bigger city and find it an adjustment to get used to being a student in a smaller space that lacks the usual diversity from big places.
Otherwise, I like reading, running, and sewing but feel free to reach out for a chat about nothing and everything under the sun :)

Nursing - Adult
My journey to this land of 'many stories' - Norwich, is that of intense research that uncovered fascinating realities, amongst which is the combination of aesthetic medieval architecture and academic excellence.
UEA is a school that harmonizes students from different countries with diverse ethnicities via the availability of different groups and clubs in order to foster social interactions among students. UEA is also highly student-centered in terms of prioritizing and providing quality academic and well-being support at various levels. More interesting is the fast admission process, timely responses to enquiries and the flexible payment methods which is the icebreaker. The Nigerian representative and student ambassadors also makes the admission process a lot easier by being usually accessible and available to douse the flames of confusion and give clear directions where necessary.
I have always found myself within the spheres of leadership and responsibility at every point and that is where my passion for health and wellbeing was birthed. Studying nursing in the school of Health Sciences at UEA has proven to be a step in the right direction; to mention a few will be the practical and simulation sessions, one-on-one mentorship educational system whereby students academic growth is every lecturer's concern. Also, the inter-professional learning opportunity where students from the entire school of health sciences work together to promote excellent teamwork which underpins the Nursing profession.
I love taking long walks along the school’s riverside which gives a glimpse of the epic coastal sceneries that surrounds UEA and grabbing a cup of coffee from Ziggys or simply relax in the evenings with my friends for a fun-time at the scholars bar on campus: UEA is simply home from home for me.
